...........If not, check it. If it is, then that isn't the source of the problem.

No - it just does nothing.....

and it's checked for IE.

You can also try (temporarily) setting the security setting to it's lowest level to see if that helps. Another idea would be to reinstall Java AFTER you have ie7 installed. From your post it sounds like you installed Java before the upgrade to ie7.

I checked the secutiry setting and they are not desabled for Java. I did the temp level things with no difference and I uninstalled and re-installed Java (after IE7).

Still the same irritating thing.

I have to say that I can work-around with Firefox for web stuff but ME without YAHOO!!!!! OY!
